Week of September 25 2015

We've started to read The Tiger Rising by Kate Dicamillo. So far in the book we have met a boy named Rob. His mother has died so he is very sad, but he gets happier when he finds a tiger and meets a girl named Sistine.

This week in writing we started our realistic fiction stories. We talked about what it  takes to really prepare for it. We learned how to make our characters come alive and seem real. 

In science this week, we learned about biotic (is alive or was once alive) and abiotic (never alive) factors in different ecosystems. We read a book about food chains and food webs and then answered some questions and made posters based on the questions and answers we got assigned.

This week we learned to play this AWESOME GAME CALLED LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ask us how to play it. Mrs E's Grandfather made up the game, when they had lots of ants that kept having kids.
